The PCC / IPSO & the regulation of the PRESS:

1) Historical 1992 - The false accusation of Colin Stagg for the murder of Rachel Nickell:

2) Mark Lawson on Colin Stagg 

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2006/dec/22/comment.pressandpublishing 

"For more than a decade, he was generally assumed in media coverage to be guilty of a gruesome murder on Wimbledon Common, despite the inconvenient failure of any charges to stick. By the time he was cleared of involvement, the media hunting of the aptly named Stagg had caused great pyschological cost to him, and the financial cost to the taxpayer of compensation."

2) Contemporary 2009 - The false accusations and insinuations of Christopher Jefferies in the murder of Jo Yeates
